screen shot of problem with dialog

Ah - then I went back tried doing with the width dialog you mention.

You are correct that does not work. 

The screen shot shows the dialog immediately upon opening, after making the
column with data larger then the default directly by dragging the side of
header with mouse: Note the control for setting the size is disabled while the
automatic checkbox is empty - this seems backwards.

Put a check mark in the Automatic field and the actual size box becomes active,
allowing you to enter a different size, but since the automatic option is now
active when you save this the "Automatic" width setting wins.</pre>
